Thank you for all of the useful advice and opinions.
So I have made a very difficult decision.
We are going to sell both of our road bikes and buy a pair of track dedicated 600's so we can race against each other (the Queen and I are a competitive couple).
I am thinking either ZX-6R at this stage but I will do some more research first.
Bike one is off to get detailed today and bike two is off tomorrow.
I have to find a racing club to join and then I can submit my application for my MA license and thankfully I have my old license which they will accept as evidence that I can operate a motorcycle. Yessss! (I am so glad I kept that; note: keep yours)
At this point I would like to say a big "Fuck you! I still get to ride!" to our government, legal system and police force just because it makes me feel better and I have an extra spring in my step now as a result of all of this.
